coming to manchester to soon 💰

on march 27th, I will be joining Orian Brook, Dave O’Brien and Mark Taylor at Blackwell’s in Manchester to discuss the updated version of their book Culture is Bad for You. You can book a ticket for the event here. This all came about because at the end of 2024, after being on a panel with Orian for Edinburgh’s Radical Book Fair, I posted a text about how much money I have earned as a writer since I began in 2015. Citing their book, which discusses the changing scale of the middle class, and their ever-growing dominion in art, I finally had the data to explain why this industry makes me feel like a tiny rat begging for scraps. I look forward to hashing it out in Manchester. Hopefully see you there
